    10 Black Female Therapists To Try Out This Quarter

    The first quarter is behind us, and many are celebrating huge wins. Others are experiencing big challenges at work and/or on the homefront. Three years into the COVID-19 pandemic, wars raging worldwide and an uncertain economy have led to a mental health crisis. The American Psychological Association’s recent survey reports that feelings of stress, uncertainty, and grief are high. APA reports that there has been an extra heavy load on the Black community. Black women in particular are shouldering much of this, as many are also caregivers for our families and communities. Having support with these responsibilities in the form of therapy is an important tool in helping stay healthy and at the top of your game.

    As noted in a previous article, seeking out a Black female therapist can provide added benefits. In therapy, the goal is to get as emotionally ‘naked’ as you can. Having a therapist with a similar background and shared experiences can put you at ease, especially when uncovering difficult issues in the sessions. Being more open in therapy allows the therapist to help you see what needs to shift so you can begin to heal. There are numerous Black female identified therapists that have specialities that can address your unique needs. We have compiled a list of ten to get you started.
